MEDIA REVIEWS

For the music-loving child in your life, this glorious book is ideal to give them. As Ava and Jayden go on a beautiful journey, they are not only inspired by the picturesque scenes set out before them, but each one is accompanied by a particular instrument. Watch your child's face light up as they press buttons revealing wonderful sounds from the likes of the ute, oboe, trumpet and clarinet - all classical pieces you both might recognise. A wonderful way to introduce children to an orchestra. - Zoe West, Woman's Weekly

This really is a joy to behold, and the perfect title to use as an opener to music lessons. - Teach Primary

This book immediately sparked mine and Nora and Jonas' interest. The beautiful illustrations are super inviting, the story enchanting, taking the reader on a musical adventure with interactive music to press and play. It's a fabulous learning tool too about musical instruments, parts of an orchestra, the entire ensemble, composers and musical compositions. Highly recommend this book for any musical interested children and will most certainly purchase it as the perfect gift for friends and family. Nora loved everything about this book - the colour, the beautiful music played, and the journey of the story. Highly recommended! - The Green Parent
